Have you ever grown zucchini and one day you go out to check on them and you find a giant one! How in the world do they grow so fast?

Well, don't toss them out. They are still very good. I make several batches of zucchini bread from them. You can make zucchini cake, bread, cookies and muffins.

My brother is the one who is growing the zucchini this year and I asked him to let some of his get big for me to use.

Nope, not for anything I have already mentioned. I wanted to can zucchini pineapple. That's right! You read that correctly.

So what is zucchini pineapple, you ask? Well, it's zucchini that taste just like pineapple and you can use it just like you would any pineapple. It's also a wonderful way to use up all that zucchini and get your kids to eat it without even knowing.

Want to learn how to make it? OK, then read on.

You need to peel you zucchini. I cut mine up in smaller sizes as it's much easier to handle.

I used a knife but I guess you could use a potato peeler if you wanted to.

Now, take out all the seeds. A mellon baller is easy to use for this.

Then cut up your zucchini into the size you want. If you want to have "crushed pineapple" then just grate it up.

About Me

When I first started to blog, I had no idea what my blog was going to be about. Since we were in the process of remodeling our house, it gave me the name for my blog.
Now, years later my blog has become more about my life in Orange County CA. Places I go, things I do and stuff I want to share with you.
I hope you enjoy my blog and all the different topics.
Leave me a message when you can. I enjoy reading everyone of them and knowing there are people out there who are stopping by.
